Saturday 7 November 2026 | $25 | Tickets Here
Our hometown Halloween show has become a bit of a tradition and we have an absolute MONSTER of a lineup for you this year!!
Joining us on the Crossroads stage is We the Hollow Official (QLD), Where the Devil from Newcastle, and Cowra punks FLACCiD!!
We know Dubbo’s been waiting for another absolute ripper of a metal show, and this one won’t disappoint. We’ll be doing our dress-up comp again, and we were blown away by some of the costumes - just make sure you turn up early enough to be considered!!
You may notice the date of this one isn’t actually on Halloween weekend. That’s because we’ll be off on tour, but it also means that you can enjoy trick-or-treating with your fam, and then get dressed up AGAIN and come out the next weekend - and let’s face it, we all think Halloween should be a week long anyway, right?
Tickets are already on sale and this show sold out last year - we expect it will again, so grab your tickets early and join us for one of the biggest nights of metal on Dubbo’s calendar!
